Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
